I live on a small 🇨🇦 island and write stuff. Often about science. Often for kids. But not always. Website: http://www.claireeamer.com/?m=1

Book cover for Just a Piece of String: An Invention That Changed the World, by Claire Eamer. Illustrated by Xulin Wang. Published by Orcabooks. Cover shows many kinds of string and rope hanging vertically above three baskets of yarn balls and thread spools. Three kids are dangling or swinging from the ropes.

A chubby, short-legged reindeer with velvet-covered antlers grazes on short arctic grass near the museum in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

A barbeque buried under a mound of fresh snow, snow-covered trees in the background.

Sunset over a calm sea, a low island in the distance and mountains beyond. A line of bright gold and pink in the clouds over the mountains, with the colour reflected in the water.
